Turning your rough boards into lovely smooth ones

[Big Beech]

I like rustic looking stuff, so not worried too much. But yes smaller boards thicknessed according to needs is the way forward.

Will, thanks for the offer, no dice though no room.

 

Should of sold it to Ollie before he moved to Wales ;-)

Hi guys I use a 9inch angle grinder with a backing pad and 36grit discs to get most of the cupping or chainsaw marks out then plain and sand with an orbital

I'm contemplating buying the planer head for my Lucas mill, then I will be able to plane 6ft. Just need to justify the expense. At the moment I mostly work in boards at 12" of less.

That's pretty hardcore!

 

Perhaps I should try and make a Wadkin/ Wood Mizer hybrid diesel planer

 

Mines an RJ, a mere 2032kg of tinny lightweightness....

just realised that this monster planer/thicknesser is no wadkin.

 

it's actually made by sagar.

where can you buy them?

[se7enthdevil]

good luck finding one, i doubt there were many made. you would be better finding an old robinson or dankaert 30". they are more common.

 

 

there are always 24" models on ebay,
